I went to the Manchester University introductory concert this evening; Bernstein's Overture Candide, Ives' Tone Road No1, Mendelssohn's Symhony No4 and Britten's St Nicholas. The best thing was.. it was free! Good orchestras, although they did sound like they were a bit rusty.. I thought the winds were slightly out with each other (and obviously therefore at least a few were out with the orchestra) and the person I went with thought that the strings weren't getting all their notes. The second half (the Britten) was very well done, with excellent and beautiful music.
Home tomorrow afternoon for Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year).. after three hours of lectures and seminars.
